Secrets of Successful Stallholders – Wardrobe

The excitement is building for event day – if you want to have an experience that’s:

  • successful

Then read on..

I want to show you all the steps our most successful stallholders take to sell all their clothes, make as much money as possible and really enjoy the whole experience.

Let’s talk wardrobe.

Most people want to go straight to pricing their items – biggest mistake! Before looking at money you want to make, you need to look at what you want to clear out.

  • What condition is it in?
  • Is it going to sell easily?
  • Will people want it in the condition it is right now?

Condition is very important – it is this first impression that your customers remember.

  • Do your clothes smell fresh?
  • Could someone put your clothes on and wear them straight away?
  • Do you need to set time aside to wash and air items out in the fresh air and sunshine?
  • Are your items free from stains, rips and damage?

You don’t need to do this all in one go. Set some time aside every few days to do it.

This is a chance for you to really start fresh and clear lots of items from your wardrobe. Those items that you have been holding onto for years – it’s time to let them go! You’ll feel so much better for it.

For those that have the eBook, we go into further detail with each step above.

Do it this week start going through your wardrobe. Do it in the mornings when you have sunlight to check for stains. That way, if you do need to do anything to your clothes you’ll give yourself plenty of time to do it in and avoid last minute rush and overwhelm.

Warm regards,

Rachel Prest

Hi, I’m Rachel — mother of two, founder of Rai Hi, I’m Rachel — mother of two, founder of Raid My Wardrobe, and a lifelong advocate for living with intention, connection, and conscious choice. 🌿✨

Raid My Wardrobe was born in 2010 during a major life transition, when I craved a way to refresh, recycle, and reinvent not just my wardrobe, but my whole life.

What started as a simple idea — a space for women to pass on what no longer served them and find new treasures — quickly grew into a movement, attracting over 1,000 people to our very first event.

My love of second-hand fashion began during my university days, where resourcefulness and creativity walked hand in hand. Later, my work in teaching and charity management deepened my belief in community and purposeful living.

Motherhood shifted everything. It called me to slow down, simplify, and live more intentionally — aligning my choices with my core values of sustainability, authenticity, and sovereignty.

I’m not from the fashion industry — and that’s my strength. I’m passionate about slow fashion, eco-styling, clean living, natural health, and inspiring others to honour themselves, their community, and the earth. 🌏

In recent years, I’ve expanded my creative work into interiors through @lovemyplants101, helping people bring nature indoors and create beautiful, nurturing spaces that support wellbeing and connection.

Today, Raid My Wardrobe is more than just an event. It’s a celebration of women — all shapes, styles, and stories — and a movement toward living soulfully and sustainably.
It’s about fashion, home, and self - being beautiful, meaningful, and aligned with what matters most.

GOODBYE 2023!! Another year is winding to an end a GOODBYE 2023!! Another year is winding to an end as we count down the days until Christmas! 

I'm not sure how this year was for you, but for me it was a very challenging year of navigating a relationship breakdown, dissolving a business partnership and seeking new employment whilst raising two teenagers.

I learnt a lot about myself this year about my strength, resilience and resourcefulness while navigating emotional turmoil and facing adversity and I'm beyond grateful for my support network especially my closest friends who were there to support me, comfort me and cheer me on through it. 

I've heard from a lot of other people that this year was challenging for them too in many different ways and I know that I'm not the only one looking forward to saying goodbye 2023!

So as the year comes to a close and you're busily winding down and preparing for Christmas and the New Year holiday period I wish you to pause and take some time and reflect on;

What did you accomplished this year? 

What were your highlights?

What challenges did you move through?

What were you proud of? 

This Christmas season may you relish on the simple pleasures this time brings, the taste of favourite foods, the excitement of little ones, the hugs of loved ones and the memories of others. 

Be kind to yourself and take time out and rest when you want to, decline obligations where you need to take care of you, seek out pleasures that light you up and fill your cup - time in nature, connecting with friends, doing your favourite activities. 

Wishing you a blessed Christmas filled with radiant health, magical moments, love, joy, happiness and beautiful connections. 

May 2024 be your BEST year! 

Catch you next year with more Raid My Wardrobe events and preloved fashion fun!

Much love, 

Rachel
